A correction: Nikon are no longer fitting twin card slots in mid range cameras. The D7500 dropped dual slots. Also one of the other channels tested and found focus issues are greatly reduced if you turn off eye AF (and possibly face AF too). It can't focus well. I can't buy it. Very simple. Sticking with my 80D on the Canon side and D7200 on the Nikon side.

Gordon just wanted to say your effort in making these video's is appreciated. You are maybe the only one (maybe 1 or 2 more) that tries to do objective ones. Today's cameras are way too good, people forget what photography is and what's it all about, finding a true good photographer nowdays is like finding a needle in a haystack.

[@cameralabs]

Thanks, I appreciate your support!

[@stephengatley8144]

You can't really blame people for chasing specs the cameras are getting better but people are falling for the incremental updates thinking they are major improvements!. On top of that everyone is guilty of not fully setting up or fully utilising their camera bodies before considering upgrading. Because of a reduction in gear costs compared to first digital allot of photographers can try different disciplines, i am a portrait photographer but am currently enjoying wildlife, not very good at it but having allot of fun. :)

[@Princeton_James]

I agree. I have a very basic entry level Olympus mirrorless, probably from 2012, and I love that thing. Amazing photos. The newest is always fun but I agree that all these new features are just given here and there. While dslrs are dying this really looks like the best one to come out in a while.

[@DanFrullani]

I've just bought this camera, actually a few days ago, and just published the unboxing and first impressions...from my humble vlogger point of view I can say it's an awesome camera...So far I have used it with the 10-18mm IS STM, the 24mm pancake lens, the 50mm 1.8 and the 55-250mm IS STM. The 120fps 1080 and 4k with no crop and dual pixel autofocus are the two main reasons why I decided to get the 90D. I haven't tried the 4K yet...I am afraid my computer will pack up and leave if I try (it's an old mcbook pro 2012)I was surprised when I found out that the built-in microphone produces a great quality sound...when I switch from built in microphone to rode videomicro outdoors, if there isn't much wind, I can barely hear the difference. I love this camera. Love your videos!

[@josephkarpinski9586]

Nice review. My results differ though. For me, the 7D Mark II missed a lot of BIF shots versus the Canon 80D or 90D. In many cases 6 out of 10 photos were out of focus when shooting BIF with all AF points. Another big issue was shooting with a 1.4x Extender at f/8. The 7D Mark II only worked with 1 AF point at f/8 while the Canon 80D and 90D support 27 AF points at f/8. Using the Canon 100-400mm II lens with the Canon 1.4x Extender III and either the Canon 80D or 90D, gave you 896mm at f/8. 400mm x 1.6 crop x 1.4 Extender = 896mm. The thing to look out for is field of view. At 896mm, f/10 gave better in-focus results. Combine f/10 and 2000-3200 shutter, gave excellent BIF captures. Had to narrow down the 27 AF points to 9 AF points for a better in-focus ratio. The 10 Fps shutter speed was disappointing on the 90D. The. buffer filled up to quickly and writing 40Mb raw files to an SD card was slow. Workaround is to use the new CRaw format instead of Raw. It’s half the size at 20Mb and the image quality is very good. Little support for CR3 files yet from vendors like Adobe when using Photoshop Elements 2020. Had to use Canon’s DPP4 tool to process the CR3 files and save them as jpegs.

[@peterwarne4388]

This is a super no-nonsense review of the 90D which concentrates on the features most buyers will want to know about. Just how much can you cover in 28 mins? However, a big selling point for me was the in-camera focus stacking feature and I can say this works wonderfully well for both macro and landscape projects. Couple this with a bluetooth capability which links to a remote and you have a very powerful combination for macro photography. The capability works with all the Canon auto-focus lenses I own which is another great benefit. I should say the algorithm just acquires the images and one needs extra software to combine them but in my experience Photoshop does a great job.

[@AstroLaVista]

Superb as always Gordon. I did think the Jpeg noise looked much worse at very high ISO's on the 90D examples. I think this is only to be expected though with smaller pixels. I doubt anyone would notice in real world use. The M6 mkII is my pick from the latest batch of Canon cameras.

[@IntothewestOkotoks]

Gordon, love your reviews - so thorough! But i have two questions/points. 1) Do you know if the eye AF you demonstrated will get a similar update that the EOS R got (distance, speed, etc). 2) I'd really like to see how/if the connectivity to a mobile device has improved since the 80D and its something rarely discussed in any review...however, I can see this functionality becoming more popular and useful in the future. For example, I've often downloaded photos from my 80D to preview for people on a slightly larger screen (instead of back of camera), as well as remote shooting. I can see it possibly getting to a point where full raw photos can be backed up directly on a connected device while shooting instead of messing with a second card. It'd be great to spend maybe a minute or two in future reviews on this functionality.

[@melrosemediaonline]

Hi Gordon, I shoot a load of wildlife and birds in flight already own a 5DMarkiii, 7dMarkii and I am looking for a second APS-c body for a secondary wildlife. Would you recommend the 90D over the 7D Mark ii?

[@RodrigoAReyes95]

Do you need to press the joystick multiple times to change the focus point or can you just keep it pressed? I hate that on my 5D4, it’s something I miss from my Nikon D500

[@melenriquez8985]

Thanks for the review, Gordon! As usual, excellent again! Very comprehensive but geared towards actual use, and not static tests used. Looking at the 90d, or for that matter any canon camera, suddenly, I am transported again into the Canon world of compromises. Or Canon may put in something great in it, but then take away something again. I've never felt that way when I switched to Sony for good about 2 years ago. I don't feel cheated or feeling wanting as in the canon days. This review, as well as the other excellent one you did for the Canon M6-2, brings back that frustration once again. I am glad I don't have to experience that anymore! :) Now, about 2 days back, I wondered how much an 800d or 77D would cost. The 77D, according to one shop in our country has been discontinued already. But if I buy from abroad, I can get it for about U$600 body only. The 800d is around U$538 with kit lens. I wish there was a body only option, but there isn't. The reason for this is, I still have some canon lenses that I will keep, but want to have a cheap but good camera to mount them in for good times sake. I still have my 20d, but that is pretty old and it's AF is poor and DR and other things falling way behind. The 90D is out of the question, so with the m6-2 for the price and a host of other things that you should me. Even after 3-5 years,when the price has gone down, the size and weight of the 90d will turn me off. The m6-2 will be nicer, though that too has it's own issues or limitations I have to contend with. Again, thanks to your reviews! In the end, maybe, I'll just buy a cheap 800d for my last hurrah in the canon dslr. Not bad at U539 w/kit lens. I can still use my 50 f1.8 stm, 85 f1.8 usm (though I may sell that to make room for a sony/viltrox 85 f1.8), 70-200 f2.8L IS mk1, 18-135 stm, 10-22, and tamron 17-35 f2.8-4.0 di. The 800d/77d would make for a small and light camera, but not as crippled or weak as the sl2. Anyway, most likely the 90d is the last of the dslr for the xxD line. I am in no rush to buy the 800d, so, I can probably wait 5 years and come back and re-evaluate things. If the price of the 80d is any indicator, in 5 years, the 90d could go down to U$600-650 body only. Thanks to this review, I can always go back here to refresh my memory as to what this camera can and cannot do. :)

[@mazdamedia5995]

Can you explain what you mean by cropped 4k? I understand cropping photos and i crop videos in iMovie to fill the frame more but I don’t understand this cropped 4k thing. Thanks

[@cameralabs]

The crop simply means it only records a smaller portion of the frame, like you cut a smaller rectangle out from the whole view. Some cameras do this in high res video modes when their sensor and processors aren't fast enough. So basically your lens isn't as wide when filming 4k on this camera as it is when filming 1080 or taking photos. It looks a bit zoomed-in

[@NorthWoodsHiker]

My first Canon was first film Rebel. My second one was the first DSLR Rebel at only 8mp. I still have it. Tomorrow I pick up my third Canon, the 90D. Need less to say, this will be a big upgrade for me. I am hoping the two Canon lenses I have will work on the 90D. One is a ef35-80, and the other is a ef75-300.

[@xray111xxx]

Hi Gordon, I keep coming back to your review because it is so much a pleasure hear and see. You never have any annoying silly gimmicks like so many other channels I have unsubbed from. I think the 90D won't be the last one as far as DSLRs go. I think they have a run of about 10 years before DSLRs go bye bye mostly if not for good. Why? Too many people like me who love DSLRs. I really need a compelling reason to jump to Mirrorless. I had a Sony early mirrorless and hated it. The Panasonic was wonderful but too many things missing for what I paid. Makes no sense but the most fun I am having is my SL-2 Canon. Absolutely bonkers you think. Yeah I did too until I really got to use it. Almost as small as a mirrorless. Costs less. Dual Pixel AF. Swivel Screen. Wins all there. No headphone jack no 4k and for some reason doesn't really bother me that much. Still enjoying your review on my Sony 4K TV, allot of my friends barely have HD let alone 4K. Most are watching my stuff still on a Smartphone. Like Ketchup on Filet Mignon. What can I say. So I need a real compelling reason and as much as the 90D is cool and all, and so many cameras to choose from. I just cannot get excited at these anymore. My Samsung S10 has been doing excellent videos for me as of late more so than even my SL-2. Why? It looks and sounds just fine. Broadcast quality? Nope. But neither is any of these other cameras on the 'Tube. Once again brings up the argument, the best camera you have, is the one that is with you all the time. My SL-2 has gone out with me maybe 30 times. My S-10, always. I love so much what Canon is doing and at the same time chiding them for hobbling their consumer cameras for the sake of Cinema lines. But this one is near full redemption. I still think if I do 4K. Panasonic GH5 still is going to be my go to camera with a speed booster and Canon adapter. Keep up the great work. I think I want to buy your book. Looks mighty fine!

[@cameralabs]

Thanks Vincent, and you'll LOVE the book!

[@joshuadtaft]

One of the better reviews I've seen about this camera. Well done. However, I don't know if I'd still call the 90D a true successor over the 80D in video (it's clearly not a huge improvement for photos as you stated). Even though Canon is now unlocking 24p in a firmware patch, the only real benefit this camera has over the 80D is 4k, which for most probably isn't really necessary. No 24p was a problem at first, and now that's kinda fixed, but no All-I, which is more ideal for those looking to get into more professional work, gives more room for post work and redundancy against lost or corrupted frames. The 90D seems like it's been geared more towards mainly youtube. Just my opinion. Great video!

[@robertmccutchan5450]

I know this is a bit of an older video, but WOW! I "grew up" on film cameras with max shutter speed of 1/1000, and a single center split prism focus screen (Minolta X700). I purchased the 90D a few months ago, and I am blown away at what this camera is capable of, and I will never use this camera to it's full potential....I use aperture priority mode, and I usually only use 1focus point, but sometimes I will use up to three focus points.

I view you as a subscriber must have as yet again your review is the best out there and answers so many of the questions most camera folks would ask. As a Canon 7D ii user I totally share your view on the tragic omission of the 65 point 7d focus system , it's so annoying that Canon failed the community again with another "nearly" model when they could have competed far better with other makes. It does appear that Canon are investing more in the M range and R range so many users will wait another year or two instead of upgrading now. Hopefully more prime M lenses may appear to join the R roadmap of lenses rapidly emerging . Overall Gordon you have definitely earned another Coffee , keep them coming and thanks for your work .

[@tomburke5311]

I feel like a real luddite... I'm very much a traditional stills photographer (landscape/travel) and this camera is pretty much the bee's knees for me. I've been using a 5DIV for the last couple of years, and I've found that just too heavy and bulky, so that's gone and been replaced with this. I've already done one trip with it and I think it offers me everything I need. I thought the 5D would be my 'last camera' but that turned out to not be the case, but I have a feeling that this one will be. I like the resolution, the joystick, the flip-out screen, and (for what I use it for) the AF system. Finally my main lens is a Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4, and I've found that works well on this new body - I feel that it's good enough to give me more detail than on my previous APS-C camera, a 750D. I'm a satisfied buyer.

I want a cam to shoot sports photography (downhill mtb) as a hobby. Also some filming. Important for me is mainly a good AF and somewhat good low light.

[@califmike2003]

Great review Gordon I watched both of your reviews on this camera. After watching your review and going on to the 90d forums this camera seems plate with numerous problems. Very soft 4K video focusing issues through the EV forcing you to use the live view which makes it difficult in the middle of the day because you can't see the screen among numerous other issues. The extra 8 megapixels don't make that much of a difference not worth the trouble of the perfect lenses you have to buy to resolve that extra 8 megapixels.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

If I hadn't bought the Lumix G9, I'd probably be happy with one of these and some third party lenses. One of my objectives in adopting M43 was to lose weight, 4K also became fairly important. We have a 200D Mark II, so how about a 90D Mark II in 2022/2023? BTW Does anyone use the powerzoom?

Hi Gordon and thanks for a very informative video.One thought though,rumors say the 90D has disturbing noice even at low ISO and if you look at your comparison at around 24.00 in the vid you can clearly see what folks are talking about,to me its a big differance in noice between the two.I know this is JPEG so should be very interesting to see if a good Raw converter can remove the noice.

[@markrigg6623]

The noise is fine it really is an awesome sensor in that camera. Canon have actually got their act together sensor wise and its gone past Sonys current apsc offerings. Dynamic range and general muck in the image are much improved. Have a look at Michael the maven's 90D sensor video. All the horrible magenta banding that has plagued Canon sensors when you push the shadows is gone. Ive just printed an A3 shot at 800 iso and theres no issue with noise. The people who framed it commented on its quality, asking me what camera I used.

[@nimboprime7680]

which one you think is better for street photography?

[@johnimg]

Hello Gordon ,nice to see you again!

[@cameralabs]

Nice to be here! I do pos videos about once a week though, so make sure you're subbed and notified!

[@tuberbum]

Finally a review which is of some use! Thanx!

[@AlBroMedia]

THE 24FPS FIRMWARE UPDATE IS OUT :D Firmware changes: Firmware Version 1.1.1 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes: 1. The option to capture both 4K and Full HD movies in the frame rate of 23.98p has been newly added. 2. Fixes an issue where error code "Err 01" may be displayed when using EF85mm F1.8 USM or EF100mm F2 USM lenses.

[@berthubbardt.o.o.c7314]

Your reviews are incredible Can you add more reviews of equipment like lights., gimbals Microphones etcetera.

[@cameralabs]

It takes me a solid 1-2 weeks to review one camera by which time I'm onto the next camera. So there's literally no time to do anything else.

[@duvedistudio2220]

Sony a6400 vs canon 90d which camera has more detail 1080p quality?

[@krismenon8071]

Pretty good update to the 70D. Sold mine. I’m glad I Got the EOS R.

[@theoschela]

Great review & Thank-you Gordon. I noted you prefer the M6II for Birds in Flight (to the 90D) - I have the 7D2 and am curious what AF setting you suggest for BIF shooting? I have always used the center point AF (sometimes expanded center point). Do you use and prefer the AF tracking for BIF on the 7DII? Thanks so much!

[@cameralabs]

It's really about experimenting, and it'll be different for different birds, lenses and scenarios. For the seagulls here I found zones were effective with backgrounds, or the full area against a plain sky. The trouble with center-point is you obviously have to keep it over the subject which can sometimes be tricky again depending on the scenario. On your 7D II, the center point is however the best one when shooting through the VF. On the M6 II, it's a different AF system.

[@alg6377]

I like a cropped sensor DSLR because it gives more reach for macro, which is what I enjoy shooting most. I also like OVF over EVF, and DSLRs have better battery life. I concur with Gordon about the 90D's resolution. My own test was restricted to comparing my 6 year old 70D against the 90D on display at Best Buy. I made a point of matching camera settings, ISO, focal lengths, aperture, shutter speeds, distance and perspectives for both as best I could. The increase in resolution over the 70D was not nearly what I would have expected from a 12mp sensor boost and 3 generations of processor evolution. Yes, there was some increase in resolution, but it's not like it knocked my socks off either. Canon seems to have focused more on video performance (admittedly of zero interest to me) and used the 32.5mp spec more as a selling point to separate the 90D from the competition. I don't shoot RAW but I think they're using too much jpeg compression and/or anti-aliasing and not getting nearly the full potential out of the available pixels . Just look at the comparative file sizes of say Sony's a6400 at 24.2mp vs. the Canon's at 32.5mp and you'll see what I mean (8M more pixels, but a significantly smaller file size in the 90D kind of tells the story for me). I was really excited by this camera's release, but my 70D still holds it's own and I'm not running out buy one.

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Here's the problem, you don't shoot RAW. Raw processed images are pro quality with an L lens.

[@pbilk]

Great detailed review! I love it! Thank you! I found a great used 80D with good lenses so I think I go with that for my uses and in the future skip the 90D with a newer version of there is one or switch to a mirrorless. I don't want to switch makes to the superior Sony Mirrorless but maybe in 2-3 years Canon will step up there game to close the gap with Sony.

[@cameralabs]

Glad you found it useful!

[@jacquelinehatfield8298]

This is the best review I've seen yet. Very impressive. I was looking to buy the Canon 80D, but after watching this video I find myself longing for the 90D instead, but the $$ will certainly hurt more. Lol, Oh No!

[@MK-bg9bj]

Most informative review of the 90D 👍

[@deveshgupta3627]

Heyy dude Can u plz tell which Canon dslr is best for wildlife photography ???? Please please 🙏 From India.😇

[@Batman5ooo]

Great video .. do you by any chance know if recording high frame rate 1080p uses a cropped sensor ?

[@Batman5ooo]

To answer my own question. On canons own site they say high framerate movies are using 84% of the uncropped 4k recording area. So i gues the 4k movie is downsampled to 1080p Are there digital magnification so you can get a 1:1 signal like on the 70D ?

[@jakerivera5408]

10:00 - “birds in flight” 😂

[@lb7144]

The 90d has a motion tracking autofocus through the display screen. Touch the object on the screen and the camera will track the motion.

[@vodka7martini]

Liked and subscribed! Thank you for the video.

[@planetdee3587]

Nice throwback with the 50D. I have been watching since around that time.

[@cameralabs]

Thanks!

[@momchilyordanov1616]

They should have charged $100 or so more, put the 7DII focusing through OVF in it, and market it as a successor to the 7D line with addition of good video and eye detect technology. As it is, I would choose any of M6II, a6400 or X-T30 over this.

[@cameralabs]

I agree

[@stephengatley8144]

The 7Dii focusing system is crappy & inconsistent i am currently using the 150-600mm Sport & 80D propperly setup, lens calibration is perfect the hit rate is awesome just know your gear & don't shoot in back or side lighting situations like Mr Gordon & BIF focusing will improve greatly!. Back lighting is for pretty silhouettes or shadow lifted portraits...

[@markrigg6623]

They really couldn't market it as a 7D due to its smaller lighter build quality. Better to give it improved AF but keep it as a 90 D. I'm finding the 90D a much more enjoyable camera even with it's limitations. The 7D mk ii has only got mediocre image quality compared to my other cameras.

[@nikolozchkhetiani5918]

Thank you Gordon, it's literally the best review on 90D! I need a crop DSLR for my needs, so what do you think which camera has better AF: Canon 90D or Nikon D500?

[@cameralabs]

Thanks! I'm assuming you mean which has better AF through the viewfinder, as on the screen, the 90D is World's ahead! Through the viewfinder, the 90D is a lot more modern than the D500, but Nikon's tracking was very good even back then. I think I'd still go 90D overall, but the D500 is still very good.

[@jonathankellogg6332]

Thanks for the thorough review, Gordon. I'm mostly a still photographer of young kids inside and outside playing and am thinking about upgrading my original 7D because I'd like to boost my resolution, low light performance, and dynamic range compared to my current sensor. I've been watching your reviews of the current Canon lineup (7D MII, 90D or switching up to the full frames R or 5D MIV) and while I was really hoping that the 90D would be THE solution I was looking for, I still find myself wondering if I'll consider it a worthy update. I don't currently shoot much video, but I'm now in a job that would occasionally have me shooting 4K of nature. I feel like I'm left wondering if I should make the switch now or wait another year to see what the next iteration of Canon has in mirrorless (not interested in reinvesting in glass at the moment). Just seems like a challenging time to make an update. As a user of all, happen to have a clear favourite?

[@cameralabs]

When you said 7D II, did you mean M6 II? it's definitely worth a look...

[@jonathankellogg6332]

Thanks for the opinion and the quality review!

[@frankmay9000]

GOOD REVIEW gORDON. MANY THANKS

[@wellsofgodministry]

Please is the canon 90d a full hdmi out? i do more of livestreaming and would like to know more about the 90d hdmi capabilities Thanks

[@diegodelacruz668]

Yes! Have clean out Hdmi

[@ahmedbebars6844]

Having trouble deciding here, so any buying advice would be much appreciated. I've had a Canon 70D since 2015, been into bird in flight photography recently using the 55-250mm IS STM lens, but I can't get close enough, so I end up cropping, and with only 20MP at my disposal, the result is a poor quality low res crop. I'm also missing a lot of shots because of only 19 AF points which are crammed in the middle of the frame. Been saving up for the R5 (or any newer model that follows), but that will take a few years. Anyway, I was considering getting the 100-400 ii for my 70D for more reach when shooting birds in flight, but I think the same problem remains, the few AF points resulting in a lot of out of focus shots. Should I get a 90D instead? Is it a better alternative to the 70D, especially for focusing accuracy (while keeping the 55-250 lens because of 32MP offering more room for cropping), and a good upgrade for a few more years before shifting to the mirrorless system? Thanks in advance.

[@cameralabs]

The 90D will give you a mild upgrade in this scenario - better AF and more pixels for cropping - but the overall experience for photographing birds is so much better on the R5 and R6, so I'd be tempted to save for these or wait for a possible upcoming more affordable model. May be worth hiring an R5 or R6 first to see if it's the right option to save for,

[@mikedinsdale6065]

Great video Gordon. Many thanks.

[@kbruff2010]

Can this camera record beyond 29.59 minutes as many other cameras can't?

[@Vendetta_05]

The 90d come with a lens?

[@VladimirHidalgo]

In 2022 could this 90D be a good upgrade option for a T7i? I mostly photograph my kids and family but looking at better low light performance and eye-focus. I have a few EF/s lenses that I would like to reuse: 10-18, 18-55 STM, 18-135 STM, 24 STM, 50 1.8 STM and 55-250 STM

[@cameralabs]

It does represent an upgrade but not a huge one.

[@annieoconnor8682]

Hello Gordon! This was very helpful! I have a 60D and am interested in an upgrade. Interested in the 18-135mm and adding on the 70-300mm zoom/telephoto lens for an upcoming trip. I am wondering if there really is much meaningful difference for me coming from the 60d - save a few $ and go for the 80d and spend on the extra lens? Or go for what might be the last in the series? thoughts??

[@cameralabs]

Well you'd get much better video quality, faster shooting, the AF joystick, higher res images. It'd have a bunch of upgrades over your 60D, so I think a good upgrade if you want to stay with a similar body shape, weight and size.

[@Serenoj69]

Very thorough, great narrator and well thought out review. Speaking od the latter: which manufacturer will get a DSLR with better videospecs but worse photographic specs than its mirrorless equivalent? A baffling choice by canon.
